solidute 45 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 We're heading to sunny Qld for 5 weeks from late June, and I'd like to take along a compact/travel rod in case we find some spare time to wet a line, will only be landbased. Don't want to spend a fortune as it'll be stored in a camper and may cop a bit of damage. Would prefer something I could easily replace from a BCF/Anaconda if needs be. Thinking a 4 piece (dunno why 4 piece, other than breaks down to a smaller size, just popped in my head) would be better than telescopic but open to ideas. Obviously with no Qld fishing knowledge and copious options online it's a bit confusing to know what to look at so keen to hear people's thoughts Cheers Sent from my SM-A525F using Tapatalk doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvin 2,195 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 I've got a 5 piece Lox travel rod. I've taken it to Queensland a few times and once to WA. It fishes PE 2 with enough length for land based casting. Light enough to use for bream and garfish but enough power for some micro jigging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hugo 120 Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Shimano Raider travel rods are good value for money. PVC tube is the best option for protecting and storing rods when travelling and is almost baggage handler proof! Bone and Nitro travel rods are better quality but way more expensive. yellow door 1 and doobie 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellow door 1 1,786 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I swear those handlers use rod tubes to practice their caber tossing Some cushion foam plugs - (far right) are a useful addition Hugo and doobie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solidute 45 Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Haha we're traveling by road and with a camper trailer. Baggage handlers be damnedI'll check out those Shimano raiders.
